Presentation
There were several limitations to the present study. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
PURPOSE: In the prostate specific antigen era most prostate cancer presents at an early stage. However, a significant number of patients have advanced disease, including those with stage IV disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This analysis presents relative survival estimates by RD-stage at diagnosis calculated using the cohort method for the period 2011–2016. [ncci.canceraustralia.gov.au]

Our patient presented with mediastinal mass as the first manifestation of prostate cancer. Unusual prostate carcinoma metastases are usually encountered in the presence of known advanced disease but rarely as the first presentation. [hindawi.com]

Weight Loss
If the prostate cancer has spread, become more severe and moved to a stage 4 then you might also experience the following symptoms: Bone pain, especially around the hips, thighs and lower back Swelling of the feet and legs Weight loss Fatigue Read what [naturalprostate.com]
Bone pain, weight loss, swelling in the legs and feet, pelvic discomfort, erectile problems, trouble urinating, and blood in the urine and/or semen are common signs of advanced prostate cancer. [healthmonitor.com]
Side effects include nausea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Immunotherapy Sipuleucel-T (Provenge) is a vaccine doctors use to treat advanced prostate cancer, especially if it’s not responding to hormone therapy. [healthline.com]
Weight loss. Swelling in your legs and feet. How is prostate cancer diagnosed? A blood test called a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is the most common way to check for prostate cancer. [northshore.org]
More widespread disease often spreads to the bones and gives pain or unexplained weight loss and fatigue. [cancer.org.au]

Bone pain, weight loss, swelling in the legs and feet, pelvic discomfort, erectile problems, trouble urinating, and blood in the urine and/or semen are common signs of advanced prostate cancer. [healthmonitor.com]
Bone Pain Treatment The bones are a common place for prostate cancer to spread. Androgen deprivation therapy can often control the cancer that has spread to bones. [prostatecentre.com]
Once the cells settle in the bone, they start to interfere with the bone’s normal health and strength, often leading to bone pain, fracture, or other complications that can significantly impair a man’s health. [pcf.org]

Side effects may include: nausea a headache back pain joint pain Surgery While some surgery to remove tumors may be an option, your doctor is less likely to recommend it for prostate cancer that has spread to multiple areas. [healthline.com]
pain (from metastatic spread to the spine) Clinical scores that may be useful in assessing symptoms severity include: IPSS: international prostate symptoms score, 35 points score mainly assessing urinary symptoms IIEF: international index of erectile [radiopaedia.org]
Case Report A 69-year-old man was presented with our hospital in October 2007, with four-month history of anorexia, painless gross hematuria, and back pain. [hindawi.com]

Low Back Pain
back pain pain with ejaculation your doctor will diagnose prostate cancer by feeling the prostate through the wall of the rectum or doing a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (psa). [icd10data.com]
These treatments also may reduce chronic low back pain, joint pain, headaches, and pain from cancer treatments. Before you try a complementary therapy, talk to your doctor about the possible value and potential side effects. [northshore.org]

Enlargement of the Prostate
Enlarge Normal prostate and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A normal prostate does not block the flow of urine from the bladder. An enlarged prostate presses on the bladder and urethra and blocks the flow of urine. [hoacny.com]
Those symptoms also may be caused by something other than prostate cancer, such as an enlarged-but-noncancerous prostate gland. [livescience.com]

Urinary Retention
Case Report A 67-year-old gentleman presented for the first time with acute urinary retention and left leg swelling. The urinary retention was managed by a urinary catheter. [hindawi.com]
Another uncommon but dangerous complication is urinary retention—the inability to pass urine caused by an infection. Seek care immediately if you stop being able to urinate after a biopsy. [health.harvard.edu]

First, your doctor or continence advisor will want to look for the causes of your poor bladder control, such as prostate disease, infection, diabetes or some medicines. [continence.org.au]
Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are used as a marker for prostatic diseases, including BPH. Imaging studies can help confirm prostate size. [riaendovascular.com]
What happens in the aging man’s body, however, is that testosterone converts to estrogen and DHT, and these two testosterone metabolites have been shown to be involved in benign and malignant prostate disease. [lifeextension.com]

Pelvic Pain
Examples of these symptoms include: back, hip, or pelvic pain blood in the urine or semen burning or pain upon urination difficulty fully emptying the bladder difficulty starting a stream of urine experiencing sudden urge to urinate a weak urine stream [medicalnewstoday.com]
Chronic prostatitis, also called Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), is a common prostate problem. It can cause pain in the lower back, in the groin area, or at the tip of the penis. Men with this problem often have painful ejaculation. [medicinenet.com]
Men with prostate cancer may have their presentation masked with overlying benign prostate hyperplasia (such as urinary urgency/frequency, weak stream, and incomplete voiding), others may have dysuria, UTIs, or pelvic pain. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Urinary Hesitancy
Symptoms associated with BPH include frequent urination and urinary hesitancy that can be especially troublesome at night (Gharaee-Kermani 2013). [lifeextension.com]
Workup
Pulmonary embolism was ruled out after blood workup and imaging investigations. Nevertheless, his chest X-ray showed left sided chest mass (Figure 1). [hindawi.com]
The patient was admitted for further workup. A brain MRI demonstrated metastatic involvement of the cavernous sinus (Figures 3, 4). [touchoncology.com]
What Is Prostate Cancer Workup? If cancer is present on biopsy, workup for metastasis may be indicated. Imaging studies may reveal the size and location of the tumor in the prostate as well as the extent of spread of the disease. [emedicinehealth.com]
In addition, a keen understanding of hereditary cancer syndromes and the indications for their workup is important, as it guides selection for NGS and referral for genetics counselling. References: Oros KK, Ghadirian P, Greenwood CM, et al. [targetedonc.com]
Laboratory Studies In cases of suspected advanced prostate cancer, the hematologic workup should include a complete blood count (CBC), liver function tests (LFTs), and a chemistry profile, including levels of serum creatinine, acid and alkaline phosphatase [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment
Treatments that “target” cancer cells may offer the advantage of reduced treatment-related side effects and improved outcomes. [vacancer.com]
Treatment decisions in advanced cancer are difficult. The uncertain benefits of systemic anticancer treatment must be weighed against likely toxicity, in a situation where the goal of treatment is not cure. [answers.google.com]
Prognosis
If the patients received some local therapy, it might improve the prognosis of some patients. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Staging helps a physician make an informed decision about treatment and provides information for a more reliable prognosis ( the likely course of this disease ). [whathealth.com]

Prostate cancer prognosis and survival rates can help give patients an idea of their chances of surviving the disease based on the stage and time of diagnosis. While some patients may find this information helpful, others may not want to know. [protons.com]
Prognosis Prognosis means the expected outcome of a disease. In general, the prognosis is better when prostate cancer is diagnosed while it is localised and at a lower grade. You may wish to discuss your prognosis with your specialist. [cancercouncil.com.au]
